The Race Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I saw these people in the early morning with their bicycles and rickshaws, and it had the feeling that they were racing, they were all in such a hurry. I can just imagine what hard work it is though to be pushing the rickshaw filled to the brim with all those vegetables.

I like the diagonal movement flow. Nice crop catching a bit of the wheel and the upper biker - enhances the movement feel. The rickshaw guy with all those vegetables is clearly determined to win. ;-)
cheers,
Cristian

That was a very unfair race, with one full of fuel and the other empty! In this case, I believe the man on the right was giving moral support to the other. Just “team work”!!!
At first sight the bottom corner seems distracting but after a while I started understanding the dynamics and seeing an excellent diagonal from bottom right to top left. Well done.

Good dynamic shot underlined by the diagonal, the 2 parts of wheels on top and bottom, and of course the hard work of the rickshaw
Well done Wanda

Hello Wanda! Look at his HEAVY load, he certainly has some business actitives in mind with his wonderful fresh vegetables he carries around. Yes this looks like a race and maybe it is one when it comes to survival but I wish they sometimes have a little fun too. Great early morning street scene, I can almost hear the traffic :))) Happy day for you ... we have a spring day in Zuerich with dark blue skies but cold temperatures ... Barbara.

Wanda: it's a classic Indian scene - I can't hep but wonder why the wallah on the right is pushing. Contrast, details - there all here. regards, c

Hi Wanda,
the framing is totally adequate here, strong diagonal, elevated point of view, bits of other wheels in the frame...Really gives the feeling of the race you're talking about, good job.

Hi Wanda,
a very nice street scene, it really does look like a race! It seems like this man has a heavy load to carry... I especially like that red color of the rickshaw, which looks so nice and is a greart focal point. Well done shot, I like it a lot!

Take care
Mark

Hi Wanda,
dit lijkt inderdaad op een race. Mooi licht trouwens op de rickshaws en de chauffeurs.
Groeten Gerrit

You were there at the right moment to get this surprising episode of indian transportation, people so thin, carrying loads so heavy, that always impressed me.

salut Wanda,
très belle image de vie quotidienne. La composition est bien étudiée pour obtenir un équilibre d'ensemble. Pour la course, un des deux est avantagé :) il n'y a rien sur son pouce pouce
